Training for American Ninja Warrior at Sunset Playground, August 5, 2014, 4:48 p.m.

From Daddy: This morning, he asked me for the time. When I told him that it was 10:35, he hurriedly dressed. Then he announced, “There is one place that I want to go.” That place was McDonald’s for an Egg McMuffin. I wished that he has provided more notice because we barely made it in time for a couple of McMuffins.

The nearest McDonald’s was Stonestown, and the price was $3.99. It seemed high.
